Kris Rusch on Marketing Your Books

Actually, this is part of a longer series -- Kris writes a blog post on the business of writing and publishing every Thursday, and it's absolutely worth a read -- but this particular post has some especially shiny gold in it.

She talks about how to use the alsoboughts on your books' sales pages to figure out who's reading your books and what they like about them, which helps you make marketing decisions and decide where to spend your limited time and money.

I always look forward to Kris's posts, which I consume with my Thursday morning caffeine. She gives a good starting place to figure out my own business stuff, and it's not quite as scary the way she explains marketing.

I always look forward to her posts too. [nodnod] And I agree that she's very good at explaining things, without being dictatorial about it. Different writers can adapt her info to their own way of doing business, which is how it should work.

About Me

My name is Angie and I'm a writer living in Seattle, WA with my husband. I publish science fiction, fantasy and crime stories under Angela Penrose, and romance and erotica under Angela Benedetti. I pretty much live at the computer, either writing or online or both. My schedule is chaotically variable, so I might be awake or asleep at any given moment. It's not all bad; writing at 2am when it's quiet is actually pretty cool.
